Paul,

Looks like some Intel managers had their heads severely buried in the sand in November, 1998:

Intel anticipates that Rambus-enabled systems will dominate the $1,200-to-$3,500 PC market in 2000, and said it has also identified early interest among OEMs looking to push the technology into the price-sensitive
sub-$1,000 territory.

Here is what someone else wrote the same week:

I still haven't figured out why anybody cares about RDRAM on the motherboard. I wish that someone could explain the theory behind it's benefits.

Typically, a microprocessor bursts data in and out 32 bytes at a time. Attaching RDRAM to a microprocessor is like using a train to deliver the family groceries two blocks away. It starts slowly, and most of it's capacity is never used.
